Thus, the team agreed that the core values and objectives of the programcould still be met in a one year-program via semi-independent quarters. There were severalbenefits to running the program in the aforementioned format: (a) the new scheme does not havean impact on scheduling or grade assignment; (b) students have the option to leave the program Page 26.1385.9at the end of each quarter and, at the same time, new students can join it at any quarter as long aspre-requisites are met

At the beginning of the meeting the supervisor wouldlook over each student’s homework to ensure they attempted all the problems. Then eachstudent was asked to present a portion of their problem set. The problems selected by thesupervisors for students to present were those that required the application of important anddifficult concepts covered in the course.Each student in the group would be asked to present a portion of their solution using awhiteboard. The portion assigned was selected so that the presentation would require about tenminutes. Students were allowed to use their notes, but expected to explain each step
